There is little evidence that the Federation engages much in television or movie-making. Maybe he really was the best they had. Better than a yeoman with a tricorder at any rate.
This is one of my most rewatched episodes of Trek in the last 8 years. It not only is a good entry in the serialized story, it's a fantastic standalone.
It could be they want to just focus on modern day, setting Dexter. I don't know if the show is doing good in the ratings but quality wise it's been amazing. I do think this could maybe be a bad sign though for Starfleet Academy season 2. Unless they are already filming season 2. Though I...
To be fair, the syndication market for DS9 had also changed throughout the 90s, which made it less prolific compared to TNG in its height. I’ve read horror stories of DS9 only airing around midnight or after.
Being in LA area, I was actually lucky that my affiliate KCOP 13 would air DS9 on...
DS9's ratings continued to worsen even as the series got better and more engaging. Same with ENT. Both shows saw improved storylines and fan reactions but the Nielsens for both were in steady decline for much of their respective runs.
Yes, TOS has had the bigger cultural impact, though TNG did do better ratings in first run. Regardless, my point was the popularity Star Trek had in the 90s more or less evaporated once TNG ended.
I finally got around to watching Superman and found it quite enjoyable. Rate it an 8.
I still wont be diving all in like I did with my beloved Arrowverse and how it started with the old DCEU but the potential for the occasional good time is present. I still have no intention to watch Peacemaker.
As I said upthread, I have a hard time rating this, because I think that this episode did exactly what it set out to do (making a realistic documentary by an inexperienced film school grad), yet the result is often hard to watch.
Ummm... You seem to be forgetting that Mr. Kurtzman and the "new leadership" (Mr. David Ellison) already have a long standing relationship that goes all the way back to Star Trek-09.
SEASON 1, EPISODE 4: THE BUTCHER'S KNIFE CARES NOT FOR THE LAMB'S CRY
A list of links to the episodes rewatched so far can be found in the initial post.
Today's art comes from Studio JJ's Retro Poster Project.
Rating: 8.5/10.
TL;DR: Specialist Michael Burnham is assigned to unravel (and...
I actually heard that was one idea they might do. My guess though is it will in the end come down to the ratings of SNW and especially The Academy series, if they will keep him or not.
No, they still matter because they still affect the rates that can be charged for anyone wanting to buy a slot of commercials when they stream an SNW episode on PLUTO TV (which Paramount often does.)
Ratings don't matter now to anyone other Kurtzman because I am pretty sure we will be having more Trek one way or another because it is a popular brand. I am very doubtful though he will be part of it much longer. New leadership usually brings in their own people and I don't see why it would be...
Two big things.
1. It's quite possible that ratings / financing aren't the primary factor with the cancellation.
Skydance seem really focused on getting Trek back in a theatrical window. If they wish to tell Kirk era stories (or Kirk related stories), they might not wish to dilute that...
Nielsen ratings for July 21 - July 27 are now out.
Strange New Worlds dropped to 9th on the list. Thats the bad news.
The good news is it hit a high for Trek in Total minutes watched eclipsing last weeks 471 million minutes viewed with 472 million minutes viewed....
Now in fairness there...
I have offered up legitimate and fair minded criticism on STC. And I've done that about current Trek as well. If you see those as mere complaints then whatever. If you like what I don't then enjoy.
Welcome. Thanks for the input.
You reaffirm what Vic Mignogna said in Bunnytails' interview that...
